Quality Is Key with Dex-Pro Gloves

It goes without saying that having proper hand protection
during firefighting is of paramount importance. Burns and other injuries to the
hand represent a large portion of all fireground-related injuries. A good pair
of comfortable gloves must fit correctly to provide the proper levels of
insulation, as trapped air inside the glove acts as a good insulator and
conforms to the hand, which facilitates proper hand function.

As a leading manufacturer of head-to-toe protection for
first responders, Fire-Dex incorporates over thirty years of top-quality,
industry-leading innovations into all of their products, including the
all-important fire gloves that firefighters need to rely on for every call.
Their Dex-Pro
3D Leather Gloves incorporate an intuitive, three-dimensional construction that
combines pioneering design features with fit-for-purpose materials to form a
glove that delivers maximum dexterity, extreme durability, and superior
protection.

The Dex-Pro 3D Leather Gloves are constructed with only the
finest materials: The backs of the gloves are 3.0-ounce, top-grain cowhide that
has been tanned with a proprietary blend of silicone and other additives. These
materials ensure that the gloves stay soft after repeated wet/dry cycles. You
can be assured of a firm, secure grip in wet or dry conditions thanks to 3.0-ounce,
reverse-grain cowhide on the palms. This reliable, cowhide-based material makes
for the perfect outer-shell material because of its balance of durability,
dexterity, abrasion resistance, and comfort.

The Dex-Pro 3D Leather Gloves’ fourchettes, or the sides of
the fingers, are comprised of highly flexible, water-resistant, 2.0-ounce
goatskin. Be assured that your hands will be fully fortified with extra
protection: The gloves’ outer reinforcements have knuckle and palm guards; each
is constructed of 3.0-ounce cowhide and cover the entire width of the hand.
Additionally, you won’t have to worry about the gloves bunching up and
restricting your hands thanks to a thin, lightweight, breathable Vapor Flex™
Moisture Barrier.

By consistently striving to go the extra mile to ensure
their dedicated firefighting clientele has only the highest-quality gloves
possible, Fire-Dex infuses cutting-edge technology into the Dex-Pro 3D Leather
Gloves:

Dex-Flex™ Finger Design:
The gloves’ pre-bent, three-dimensional Dex-Flex™ Finger Design more closely
mimics the actual orientation of the hand and fingers while at rest.

Keystone Thumb:
Offering the most ergonomically sound thumb pattern available, the gloves’
Keystone Thumb is sewn separately into the palm of the glove, which allows for
a full, 360-degree range of motion and maximum flexibility.

Rollover Finger
Design: This eliminates bulky seams at the tips of the fingers.
